Ne poy, krasavitsa, pri mne
Do not sing to me, my beauty

Tï pesen Gruzii pechal?noy? 
Your sad Georgian songs

Napominayut mne one 
They remind me

Druguyu zhizn?, i bereg dal?niy.
Of another life and distant shores

Uvï, napominayut mne 
Alas, your cruel songs

Tvoi zhestokiye napevï 
Bring back to mind

I step?, i noch?, i pri lune
The steppe, the night, and a moonlight face

Chertï dalyokoy, bednoy devï! 
Features of a poor, distant maiden!

Ya prizrak milïy, rokovoy, 
That dear and fateful apparition 

Tebya uvidev, zabïvayu? 
I forget when you appear 

No tï poyosh?, i predo mnoy 
But you sing and before me

Yego ya vnov? voobrazhayu. 
I picture that image anew 

Ne poy krasavitsa pri mne 
Do not sing to me, my beauty

Tï pesen Gruzii pechal?noy. 
Your sad Georgian songs

Napominayut mne one
They remind me 

Druguyu zhizn? i bereg dal?niy.
Of another life and faraway shores.
